Wednesday first shift

Hildi arrived first, shortly followed by Judy, who had a quick dip.  The others seemed to be late (although Hildi had an innaccurate watch sourced from the bottom of Polly's swimming bag as hers was broken) and she was half expecting to join Judy.  But then Emma and then Alex came over the pebbles.  A highish tide (on the turn we think) allowed for widths which were mainly breastroke as the sea seemed chilly to begin with.  Alex and Emma got out to join Ollie for a chat while Hildi put in a few more widths, making 20 minutes in total.  Not cold once swimming, but a mild dose of the shakes a bit later.  Recovered core temperature before break time, so the sea is definately warming up.

We'ed in it to make it warmer for second shift as I know Jon doesn't like the cold.

Swimmers: Hildi, Emma, Alex (all non-wetsuited)
Spectators: Ollie
Temperature: probably 9?
Conditions: Calm, high tide

Ollie will be there on Friday for first attempt on the buoys with Hildi
